No one has seen the things I’ve seen or has felt the pain I’ve felt
Pain that cut so hard and deep, deeper than any masters’ belt
No one has cried and shed all of the many tears I’ve shed
Tears of grief, sorrow, shame and even tears of dread
No one no matter how strong can walk a mile in my shoes
These shoes carry it all; my good, my bad and my blues
So when you see me walking by just smile and let me be
Because you don’t know my struggles; why it ain’t easy being me
My True Essence
